  How do you value your private data? What about your job? The truth is someone is selling your data, and your job may be among the countless others being lost to AI at record rates. Because of this abuse of technology among many others, most people have lost all agency over their technology, devices, and information. But technologist William Welser IV has a plan to help us regain control.Enter The Story Economy, a guide that provides fresh purchasing power in a world where opportunity feels harder and harder to grasp. Within, Welser outlines the need for an alternative economy where stories can become solutions to overwhelming new problems. His entirely new marketplace allows us to use our stories as currency, putting the data we've voluntarily given to good use—allowing us to purchase goods and services and giving us the power to see exactly where our data is going and to whom.In this exciting and sometimes scary world of AI, Big Tech is using all of its tools against us to create a society in which we're lonely, broke, and lost. We must take back our power and make the technology work for us to close the healthcare, education, and wealth divide—and in the process, foster self-awareness to help us become astute decision-makers and stay ahead of technology. The Story Economy provides the innovative blueprint to get started.

  Alfred Dreyfus - The Man at the...

  An insightful new biography of the central figure in the Dreyfus Affair, focused on the man himself and based on newly accessible documents 
   
   
    
  On January 5, 1895, Captain Alfred Dreyfus's cries of innocence were drowned out by a mob shouting "Death to Judas!" In this book, Maurice Samuels gives listeners new insight into Dreyfus himself—the man at the center of the affair. He tells the story of Dreyfus's early life in Paris, his promising career as a French officer, the false accusation leading to his imprisonment on Devil's Island, the fight to prove his innocence that divided the French nation, and his life of quiet obscurity after World War I. 
   
   
    
  Samuels's striking perspective is enriched by a newly available archive of more than three thousand documents and objects donated by the Dreyfus family. Unlike many historians, Samuels argues that Dreyfus was not an "assimilated" Jew. Rather, he epitomized a new model of Jewish identity made possible by the French Revolution, when France became the first European nation to grant Jews full legal equality. This book analyzes Dreyfus's complex relationship to Judaism and to antisemitism over the course of his life—a story that, as global antisemitism rises, echoes still. It also shows the profound effect of the Dreyfus Affair on the lives of Jews around the world.

  Riding With Cochise brings the violent drama of the American Southwest to life through the eyes of the legendary Apache chieftain Cochise and three other tribal leaders. Relying largely on the oral histories told by relatives of these great warriors as well as personal diaries of others who were involved, veteran author Steve Price takes listeners deep into the Cochise Stronghold, through Massacre Canyon, and across Apache Pass. You'll sit beside the campfires of Tom Jeffords, the only white man Cochise ever fully trusted, and touch the faded stone walls of Fort Craig, the rock cairns at Dragoon Springs, and the cottonwoods at Ojo Caliente. You'll be with General George Crook and Lt. Charles Gatewood as they pursue Geronimo through New Mexico, Arizona and even into Mexico's Sierra Madre, and learn how a handful of Apache warriors could disappear into open desert, ride and sleep on horseback, and outwit thousands of American and Mexican troops for months at a time. Thoroughly researched and written in easy but fast-paced storytelling style, Riding With Cochise presents a sweeping history of how one Native American tribe fought desperately to keep its land and its culture in the face of America's westward expansion known as Manifest Destiny, then spent twenty-seven years in exile and captivity before finally being allowed to return to their beloved homeland.

  A 5-year-old boy, Ethan, is brought to Casey in the middle of the night after the sudden death of his young mother after a drug overdose. 
  Estranged from her parents, Ethan’s mum had been abused by her ex-partner, and began taking drugs to cope. Ethan is obviously lost and bewildered, and regularly wakes up screaming for his mum in the night. He begins to lash out at other kids at school and his behaviour becomes more volatile. When arrangements are made for Ethan to see his dad in prison, Casey recognises the name and face… It turns out she’s far more familiar with this case than first imagined. 
  In this heart-wrenching biography, Casey Watson, the Sunday Times bestselling author, delves into the personal struggles of Ethan, a child thrust into the world of fostering and adoption after a family tragedy. The narrative explores the complex relationships within the social work system, and Ethan's survival in the face of adversity. 
  For fans of Linda Watson-Brown (Don't Say A Word), Katy Weitz (The Girl for the Job), Veronica Clark (Snatched), Maggie Hartley (Battered, Broken, Healed), and Toni Maguire (No Going Home).
